To Hugh's Family,

May memories of wonderful times with you father and mother help you get through this loss. I wish I had had the chance to meet your parents and you.

My mother, the late Doris Hartwell Granger, of New Hampshire, only child of Norcross Needham Hartwell, was Hugh's cousin. That would make me a second cousin to Hugh's children, Catherine, Anne, and David.

I'm very interested in family history and wish I knew how to contact you.

With sympathy for the loss of your father,

Carolyn
